Like other radio technologies, HSDPA confronts the operator with new challenges. But at least from the perspective of maintaining network performance and delivering quality of the offered service, QVoice users are finding help from the HSDPA test functionalities being integrated in successive software releases.
Appearing already last year in QVoice Release 4.5 was the full support of HSDPA data cards based on chipsets MSM6275 from Qualcomm Inc, which included the Sierra Wireless Air Card 850, Novatel Merlin U740 and the Option Globetrotter 3+ for QoS IP data testing. All IP tests are functional and all application level KPIs, such as throughput and round trip time are measured and reported by QVoice.
Now in QVoice Release 5.0, testing capabilities are being expanded to include HSDPA specific full engineering trace for RF parameters and Layer 3 messages etc. for both real-time analysis in the field and detailed post processing in the office.
QVoice will be helping operators deliver HSDPA quality services, while HSDPA itself will be helping 3G technology fulfil its promise of higher performance.
